Omuwa, tu sila ohenda
1 Otandi ligamene omeho gandje kungoye,
okungoye nguka u li megulu.
2 Tala, ngaashi omeho gaapiya taga tala kiipala yooyene yawo
nogaadhike taga ligamene kaanyekadhi,
osho wo omeho getu taga tala kOmuwa, Kalunga ketu,
sigo e tu sile ohenda.
3 Omuwa, tu sila ohenda!
Omuwa, tu sila ohenda!
Oshoka otwa kala twa dhinika noonkondo.
4 Otwi idhidhimikile omasheko gaanuuntsa
nondhino yaayinenepeki.
A Song of degrees.
1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
